is the other side of the car jacked up or just the one corner your working on ? if only one corner jack the other side up as your anti roll bar will be hindering it better still once you have jacked the other side up undo your anti roll bar links that should help mate ok

You don't want to be messing with the spring to do this job, just pull the wishbone down. There is quite a bit of tension on it even if you do release the anti roll bar, but it's the way to do it.

Have you got both wheels off the ground or is the weight on the other side acting through the ARB to lift the side your changing up?
Get both sides off the ground!
